I'll give you something dramatic and stealthy to worry about - I was just surfing some racist/neo-Nazi/white power websites, and my browser (Netscape) locked up. Which happens a lot, so I just hit control-alt-delete - saw to my surprise that on the list of active programs was an unknown program listed. So I switched off the computer, then switched back on and started looking. Found it in my cache, and zapped it. Not sure where IE would have put it. DJ suggested, a while back, using WebWasher, which is free for personal and home use. It's a good program, but I hadn't turned it on due to lazy assumption that my LinkSys router would keep out the bad guys. My bad, I also have file sharing and printer sharing turned on because the printer wound up downstairs. Now I need to play hunt the bad guy and see what else has slipped in while I wasn't being careful.
